Information
Description
What It Is:
This is a worksheet titled 'Would You Cite the Source' that focuses on teaching students about source citation and the use of quotation marks. It presents three different scenarios, each with a sentence that might be used in a paper. For each scenario, students are asked whether the information should be cited and why or why not. They are also asked if quotation marks are needed and, if so, to rewrite the sentence with quotation marks. The sentences cover topics such as cancer statistics, dog breeds, and a quote from President Trump.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 6-10. The content requires an understanding of research, plagiarism, and the proper use of quotation marks, which are typically taught in middle and high school. The scenarios presented also require some critical thinking skills to determine whether citation is necessary.
Why Use It:
This worksheet helps students develop critical thinking skills related to academic integrity and proper source attribution. It teaches them to recognize when information needs to be cited to avoid plagiarism and when to use quotation marks to accurately represent someone else's words. It reinforces the importance of giving credit where it is due.
How to Use It:
Students should read each scenario and the provided sentence carefully. For each scenario, they should answer the questions about whether to cite the source and why, providing a clear explanation for their decision. If quotation marks are needed, they should rewrite the sentence with the correct punctuation.
